On stand up rods which is a preferred guide up to 80 lb class...I have used HB Fuji single foot then there is RB triple foot. I know there are others brands maybe better, however I can't make those decisions without some feedback. I'm curios what the reverse stripper guide function is and who has used it? A captain friend of mine told me on his sword fish rods he uses fishes ringed guides no rol

I wasn't or didn't mean bearings that were inferior, just asking or inquiring if anyone has purchased this upgrade? Do you make what I'm asking for the completed stand ? I'm confused about the comment 'my bearings&

You all are correct with your comments, evidently have not given this much thought, exactly why I post here, to a point clueless...Joe Blows audience are not rod builders ,more so where very loyal followers. Joe's business was successful as Roger stated "build, ship, and deliver the rod/s that they have ordered" he did exactly that. I understand what your saying, I have show them rods I

Since my last post received such good advice on buying out rod builders inventory, my questions are fairly straight forward. The gentleman I purchase the rods from said he had help with other builders to complete his orders once his business had grown. Since I'm new at this attempt and can use his credentials, mostly name on rods, which had high reviews. So my thinking was to advertise my special

You might want you reel on your rod and space out the first guide. I am not an expert, however I was told it should be as level as possible from reel spool to fist guide. Tape on remaining guides lock down drag and and pull tip to the ground. That is how I build my shark rods for pier fishing to lift 100lb sharks up for roping. I use Aftco tips.

Enjoyed reading these stories, took pages from some of your remarks...and to Lynn's comment it was similar of a scene from pickers show. I just removed my emotions on the way out and when i got there, well? I couldn't believe the dining room alone had some 60 blanks and 40 finished rods on 10 aluminum racks. I remained calm, haha but it wasn't easy. I knew everyone he new and so on, my guess was

Thanks Roger very well written, you basically answered all my questions...my rod building friend was not able to make it today hence my post...I'll be careful, not in that big of hurry...on another note, since his credibility was really high while he was in business, wouldn't it help my effort if he agreed to endorse me for lack of a better term?

I am going out today and looking at purchasing inventory from a reputable rod builder, who is selling out due to health issues. He has not been building rods since 14. How do I go about offering a fair price ? I can post detailed inventory here once I look at all of it, however I have seen some pictures of Calstar, Fugi, Gudebrod, Aftco and Winthrop tips, etc. I am not a novice nor an expert I ha

Not knew to rod building, however my original teacher did all the math and of course I never fully grasp his concept at that time. I have read on here, others like myself who have similar issues. I have re-read all my books and have visual wrap software. Billy's book does have instructions for 3d Chevron just cannot determine where to start for how many axis are need? What actually determines t
